We saw Matthew Weiner at the Jewish Community Center in San Francisco this last Wednesday, and he revealed that the Mad Men theme is actually the opening of some rap song. He heard it as in interstitial piece on "Marketplace" and had to have his assistant phone KCRW to find out what the piece was. He'd struggled to find the right music to match the animation, and that was it.
He didn't reveal the name of the song, though. Anyone know? The interview itself (conducted by the Chronicle's Tim Goodman) should eventually turn up on the JCC's podcast page: https://shamash.jccsf.org/podcast_FP.aspx --Dave Sikula On Oct 14, 4:14 pm, Joe Hass <[email protected]> wrote: > You may be going, "But wait, Joe.
